The grand vin from Nicolas Glumineau is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, and the élevage was in 65% new oak and 35% second-fill oak barrels for 19 months. Remarkably it includes 17.5% press wine, up from the usual 13%, added with consultation from Eric Boissenot who is a big press-wine advocate. This accounts for 60% of production. An expressive, confidently dark, toasted and harmonious nose, with powdered chalk and crushed white gravel dusted over concentrated black cherry, blackberry and currant fruits. The palate is fresh and bright, with plenty of peppered dark fruit freshness, toast, liquorice and tar with black pepper energy, lots of great substance here wrapping all this up, supported by grip from the rich tannic substance. It continues with layers of dark and salted fruits, salty minerals, an intense confidence, and a long and peppery finish. Stunning potential here, with great energy wrapped up in this supple, mouth-watering, sinewy texture, which adds a sense of restraint to what is a confident style. A breathtaking, spine-tingling wine, which simmers with incredibly tight-knit tannin in the length, but with never a hair out of place. Superb, and surely a new benchmark for the estate, one which we can watch evolve over the next three or four decades. Tasted three times. The alcohol is 13.6%."
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, fast tintig, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Cassis und Gewürznelken, dunkle Waldbeeren, reife Kirschen, feines Nugat, sehr einladendes Bukett. Stoffig, süß und elegant, schokoladige Textur, frisch und komplex, süßer Nachhall, enormer Druck, tolle Länge, Harmonie, salziges Finale, nicht enden wollend, der Nachfolger für den legendären 1982er ist geboren, der delikateste Pauillac seit Langem."
78 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 17 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 13.65 Vol.-%, pH 3.8, 30 hl/ha. Unglaublich vielschichtiges Bouquet, frisch gepflückte Alpenheidelbeere, heller Tabak, Lakritze, satter Veilchenstrauß und Holundergelee. Das ist schon jetzt so elegant und verführerisch. Am kaskadenartigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, reifer Extraktfülle und tänzerischer Rasse - alles in Balance, ein wahrer Modellathlet mit präzisen und eleganten Definitionen. Im konzentrierten Finale blaubeerige Konturen, tiefschürfende Terroirwürze und erhabene Adstringenz - ganz nah an der Perfektion und hinter Mouton Rothschild dieses Jahr der zweitbeste Pauillac."
The 2022 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has turned out even better in bottle than I anticipated, bursting from the glass with aromas of cassis and blackberries mingled with scents of licorice, violets and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's suave, seamless and complete, with faultless precision, pristine integration of tannin, controlled sweetness and a long, expansive finish. The 2022 manages to unite the sensuality that's the estate's calling card and the ripeness of the vintage on the one hand, with a sense of Pauillac classicism on the other, threading the needle to deliver one of the finest wines of the vintage and a benchmark Pichon Comtesse. It's a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in barriques (three months more than was formerly the case), two-thirds of which were new. As I wrote en primeur, there's more than a hint of the 1982 about this wine, and like the 1982, the 2022 will offer an exceptionally wide drinking window."
Inky in hue, the wine is equally dark, and deep on the palate. There is so much going on here, it takes some effort to discover all the wine offers, but, it's worth the effort. On the palate, which is the star of the show due to its silky tannins, incredible depth of flavor, length, intensity, and gorgeous purity, this will be one of the great vintages of Pichon Comtesse. But, it will take patience before the wine opens, fully expressing itself. The wine blends 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2030-2065."
Shiny and striking, this delights from the first sip giving a burst of strawberry and citrus acidity before salty minerality comes in the form of chalky tannins, graphite, pencil lead and slate. Really quite mineral. It's sleek and classically styled, no overt ripeness of fruit although there's concentration in the frame and power that thrusts the flavours forward. Detailed and joyous, it's pent up with muscles and tension but where other wines are showcasing that brawn now, this also delivers a ton of juicy acidity and lift which makes this so joyful. I love it. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc."
What perfect aromas of blackcurrants, lead pencil, violets, blood oranges and blood. Some iron. Medium- to full-bodied, this has incredible tannins that are completely loaded and integrated, melting into the wine with such a glorious mouthfeel. The finish goes on and on, lightly austere in the most sophisticated way. Racy and rigorously focused. 78% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. Try after 2030, but already a new benchmark for this estate."
This brims with notes of dark currant, blackberry and black cherry preserves that sparkle subtly with reserved energy, while sweet tobacco, licorice snap, chestnut, violet and ink notes work harmoniously through the long, crumpled velvet finish. A late humus echo provides a beautiful counterpoint, which just makes you want to go right back and start the experience all over with another sip. A total stunner. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2028 through 2050."
Looking at the flagship 2022 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse De Lalande, it's based on 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in two-thirds new oak and one-third in once-used barrels. Its similarly deep purple hue is followed by a magical, heavenly 2022 that has a layered, full-bodied profile that brings an incredibly floral character as well as a huge core of darker currant fruits, ripe, polished, velvety tennis, no hard edges, and a thrilling finish. It’s a quintessential Comtesse that brings the forward, supple elegance of the château while still offering plenty of classic Pauillac depth, structure, and character. Give bottles 5-7 years and enjoy over the following 40+."
As ever this stands out from the pack. Elegant, finessed, deep diving into bitter black chocolate, mandarin rind, liquorice bud, anis, fennel, crayon, graphite and slate, with opulent depths to the blackberry and damson fruit, so many textural components to the construction of the wine, clever winemaking, love the gentlest wash of clove spice on the finish that speaks to the conditions of the vintage without ever overpowering. Great stuff, this will age for many years, but no need to wait as long as with vintages such as 2016, even 2020 - I suggest five to eight years here."
This fine second wine is textured with a spice aroma and luscious black fruits. The Merlot has given a jammy character to the ripe black fruit flavors with a touch of succulent acidity. Drink from 2027."
Sweet oak, juicy black fruit, graphite, smoke. Lots of primary impact which falls away quicker than the Pichon Baron of the same vintage. Elegant, finely tannic style with plentiful fruit."
